Abstract: An ice bagging system includes an ice maker unit, an ice bagger unit, and an ice storing unit. The ice bagger unit includes a sheet of ice bags disposed on a bag roll, the sheet of ice bags is threaded through a plurality of guide rollers, a pinch roller assembly, and a sealing jaw assembly. The pinch roller assembly includes first and second pinch roller wheels that are axially movable inwardly and outwardly to selectively open or close an individual ice bag in the sheet of ice bags.

Abstract: A single-stage process for drying and grinding of wet processed food material in a single unit operation in a continuous short duration manner. The granulated food product obtained from the single-stage treatment of wet processed food is suitable for re-use in food production lines.

Abstract: A vibration sensor (12) comprises a small flat mirror (72) bonded to a thin metal sheet or beam (68) at the beam's centroid. The beam is clamped at its opposite edges by screws (70) to form a fixed beam with the flat mirror at its midspan, to permit the mirror to move in the direction of its normal, along an axis (54). The beam-mirror assembly, as bolted to a block (34) is placed upon an optical table (12) for measurement of vibrations, thereon. Securement of block (34) between one of its surfaces (38, 44) and with and without a deflecting mirror (66) permits axis (54) to be placed in any one of three orthogonal directions, in order to obtain the orthogonal components of any vibrations exerted upon optical table (12).
